reading passage
5 pagano’s farm, angelo’s legacy, has sustained four generations of paganos. i placed
the translations of the letters on top of the fragile yellowing letters, tied them with a
fresh green ribbon, and returned them to the attic. they could wait there so the next
generation could discover their history. i hoped that they would be as inspired by
angelo’s words as i had been.
6 farming was a difficult life, but the optimism and determination i had read in
angelo’s letters inspired me to go out once again and sink my hands into the rich soil
and plant sweet basil.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "legacy" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The farm is Angelo’s legacy and has sustained four generations of Paganos. "Legacy" here refers to something passed down from an ancestor (Angelo) to the family. The first option is incorrect as it mentions another culture, not the family. The third and fourth options don't align with the context of inheritance from an ancestor.

Answer:

B. something received from an ancestor
